Description:
Photometry of 40 B stars acquired by the OAO-2 has been examined for systematic differences between the 25 standard stars and 15 program objects. The latter include shell and Be stars and a few objects with at least a modest infrared excess. Although individual deviations did occur, no definite distinction between the program and comparison stars was found. A possible, but very weak, tendency for the program objects to lie somewhat below the standards in color-color plots is discussed, especially with reference to errors of misclassification and variability of the ultraviolet reddening law.
